Eyes not spreadsheets
Incidentally, this was Punters 100th victory as Aussie skipper. Magnificent effort, becomes the man to achieve this feat the quickest and needs only 8 wins to take over Border to become the most winningest one day captain in history.
Difference being that Border didn't have a team that a monkey could skipper to victory.

Personally thought that picture of Pietersen was pretty dang funny. :D

Would rather him not be injured for entertainment`s sake though. :(

ok seriously when i first saw i was happy he got hit... i mean ffs stop charging the great man lol... but i didnt want a broken rib.. i really want him to play because i like watching our bowlers bowl to him.. would like the satisfaction of getting him out cheaply and dont want false confiednce for our bowlers heading towards the WC!!

To be honest, that really isn't funny at all. I would say exactly the same thing it was an Australian player, so no bias. Get a life mate.
lighten up guys Geeeeezzz

if it was such a poor post why has it attracted so much attention :laugh:

Watching Stuart Clark bowl in the ODI and see the runs taken off him, why don't batsmen play like that off him in Test cricket?

thats true.....but we all know how the whole situation somehow changes in test cricket. Plus, the pitches would be different and so bowlers like clark can get some movement etc etc!
Also, in test cricket, u wouldn't, as a batsman, be looking to score a quick fifty! You'd be looking to consolidate and make a bigger score. Hence, bowlers like clark can bowl consistently and one batsman for a longer period of time and so get wickets!

I blame the match engine.
i blame the fact that england dont really understand the whole one day format of the game! Its beyond them! They always think they have a good total but its always below par. Dunno why! If we look back to matches england played gainst india....they scored 275 once ( in the last game)...but that just wasn't good enough (india won by 7 wickets)! Thats just one example of when england dont get enough runs! But, yes, u cant just blame the batsman...the bowlers need to get their act together!

That's not very nice!

I hope England can be competitive and give their loyal supporters something to cheer about...but NZ really should be able to comfortably beat the team England will be putting out in this series.

England should be able to win one game, you would think.

No one has gone through winless since Zimbabwe in 2003/04, IIRC

The Barmy Army crying on the ground is something that you'll never see. You must be forgetting who it was that was making all the noise as Australia were about to clinch the 5-0. Best cricket fans in the world, and there's really no grounds on which you could deny that.

Definitely.

Most NZ fans just go home when NZ's not winning.
